Duetted Perfection

Magpie Tales

Our life together is a beautiful duet,
Intermittently joined,
In harmony,
By the lives of others.
The verses’ measures are filled,
With dissonance,
Minor tonality,
But the chorus is always strong.
Sweet, loving chorus lines,
Perfectly timed,
Carefully constructed,
To hold the score together.
No song could hold light to ours,
With it’s harmony,
Minor tonality,
Simple duetted perfection.

  1. Yes, the chorus is always strong and usually sung louder, with more gusto, holding verses together ... like friends and loved ones! You have composed a beautiful Magpie.
